How can the Ugandan government promote large scale farming?
Back
Ground
In 2008/09, the Uganda Census of
Agriculture estimated the number of agricultural households to be at 3.95
million, of which 50.5% were male and 49.5% were women.
However, over time, the agricultural
sector has been negatively affected by poor rainfall, drought, technology and
markets.
According to the Agency for
Transformation, a farmer-focused NGO, another issue affecting agricultural
output is subsistence farming, where farmers carry out numerous economic
activities on a piece of land instead of focusing on just one. Subsistence
farming occurs because farmers cannot afford time and labor saving machinery.
